Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists further hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they thought.
Astronomers know that the universe is expanding — and not just expanding, but doing so at a faster and faster rate. For decades, they’ve puzzled over what could possibly be speeding everything up. Their mathematical model describing how the universe behaves could explain it well if there were a powerful, constant force at play — but they didn’t know the nature of this force or where it came from, so they called it dark energy.

A 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan just off its northeast coast late Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake occurred at 11:05 p.m. local time, 32 kilometers (20 miles) from the coastal town of Yilan.
Tremors were felt across the island, including in the capital of Taipei, where buildings shook from the shock.
The epicenter was 70 kilometers (43 miles) deep, and there were no immediate reports of widespread damage. Associated Press
Powerful winter storms brought the wettest Christmas season to Southern California this week. Relentless winds and rain also triggered widespread debris flows and left homes halfway filled with mud.
Rains were expected to ease Friday afternoon but there’s still a risk of flash flooding near Los Angeles. Officials say firefighters rescued over 100 people Thursday night in Los Angeles County.
Homes and cars in a mountain town were covered in rocks, debris and thick mud, and roads were washed out.
The storms were the result of atmospheric rivers and were blamed for several deaths this week. AP
Apparent Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian home in the south of the Israeli-occupied West Bank overnight, breaking in and killing sheep, a Palestinian official said Tuesday.
It was the latest in a surge of attacks by settlers against Palestinians in the territory in recent months.
Israeli police said they arrested five settlers.
The attackers killed three sheep and injured four more, smashed a door and a window of the home, and fired tear gas inside, sending three Palestinian children under the age of 4 to the hospital, said Amir Dawood, who directs an office documenting such attacks within a Palestinian governmental body called the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
